Leviticus 21
1 And Yhwh said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none be defiled for the dead among his people:
Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Pale ak pitit Arawon yo, prèt yo. W'a di yo konsa: Lè yon prèt gen yon moun mouri nan fanmi l', piga li patisipe nan ankenn seremoni yo fè pou mò, pou sa pa mete l' nan kondisyon pou l' pa ka fè sèvis Bondye,
2 But for his kin, that is near unto him, that is, for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother,
esepte pou fanmi pre anpil tankou manman, papa, pitit fi, pitit gason, frè.
3 And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh unto him, which hath had no husband; for her may he be defiled.
Pou yon sè, si sè a poko fè zafè, li gen dwa mete tèt li nan kondisyon pou l' pa ka fè sèvis Bondye.
4 But he shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
Yon prèt pa gen dwa mete tèt li nan kondisyon pou l' pa ka fè sèvis Bondye lè se yon sè li ki deja marye ki mouri.
5 They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.
Prèt yo pa gen dwa kale ankenn pati nan tèt yo, ni yo pa gen dwa taye pwent bab yo, ni yo pa gen dwa make kò yo avèk kouto, pou fè wè yo gen moun mouri.
6 They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of their God: for the offerings of Yhwh made by fire, and the bread of their God, they do offer: therefore they shall be holy.
Se pou yo viv apa nèt pou Bondye yo. Yo pa dwe derespekte non mwen. Paske se yo menm k'ap mete nan dife ofrann yo fè pou Seyè a, se manje Bondye y'ap ofri. Se pou yo toujou rete apa pou mwen.
7 They shall not take a wife that is a whore, or profane; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband: for he is holy unto his God.
Yon prèt pa gen dwa marye ni ak yon fanm ki t'ap fè jennès, ni ak yon fanm ki konn gason deja, ni ak yon fanm mari l' kite l', paske yo mete yo apa pou fè sèvis mwen.
8 Thou shalt sanctify him therefore; for he offereth the bread of thy God: he shall be holy unto thee: for I Yhwh, which sanctify you, am holy.
Tout moun dwe konsidere prèt yo tankou moun yo mete apa pou Bondye, paske se yo menm k'ap fè ofrann pou Bondye nou an. Mwen menm Seyè a, mwen yon Bondye apa. Se mwen k'ap fè nou viv apa pou mwen. Wi, se pou nou konsidere prèt yo tankou moun yo mete apa pou Bondye.
9 And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire.
Si pitit fi yon prèt tonbe nan fè jennès, l'ap avili papa l', y'a boule l' nan dife pou touye l'.
10 And he that is the high priest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor rend his clothes;
Granprèt la, se chèf li ye nan mitan tout prèt yo. Se moun yo te vide lwil sou tèt li a, moun yo te mete apa pou mete rad prèt la sou li a. Li pa fèt ni pou kite tèt li san penyen, ni pou l' chire rad sou li lè li gen moun mouri.
11 Neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother;
Yo mete kouwòn mwen sou tèt li, yo vide lwil sou tèt li pou mete l' apa pou mwen. Li pa fèt pou l' fè bagay ki pou mete l' nan kondisyon pou li pa ka fè sèvis Bondye, pou l' derespekte kay yo mete apa pou Bondye a.
12 Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am Yhwh.
Li pa fèt pou l' kite kay Bondye a pou l' al antre nan yon kay kote gen kadav moun mouri, menm si se papa l' osinon manman l' ki mouri a. Se mwen menm ki Seyè a!
13 And he shall take a wife in her virginity.
Granprèt la va marye ak yon jenn fi ki tifi.
14 A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane, or an harlot, these shall he not take: but he shall take a virgin of his own people to wife.
Li p'ap pran pou madanm yon fanm vèv, ni yon fanm divòse, ni yon fanm ki konn gason deja, osinon yon fanm ki t'ap fè jennès. Se sèlman yon jenn fi ki soti nan menm branch fanmi avè l' pou li pran pou madanm.
15 Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for I Yhwh do sanctify him.
Sinon, pitit li yo va yon wont pou fanmi an. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki mete li apa pou sèvis mwen.
16 And Yhwh spake unto Moses, saying,
Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
17 Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.
-Pale ak Arawon, w'a di li: Si gen yon moun nan fanmi ou ki gen yon enfimite, li p'ap janm ka pwoche pou l' fè ofrann manje pou Bondye li. Regleman sa a ou fèt pou swiv li tout tan de pitit an pitit.
18 For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,
Ankenn gason enfim pa gen dwa prezante ofrann bay Bondye, kit li avèg, kit li bwete, kit li domaje nan figi, kit li difòm,
19 Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,
kit li enfim nan men osinon nan pye,
20 Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;
kit li gen boul nan do, kit li rachitik, kit li malad nan je, kit li gen maladi po, kit grenn li kraze.
21 No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of Yhwh made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.
Depi yon gason nan ras prèt Arawon an enfim yon kote nan kò li, li p'ap ka pwoche pou fè ofrann pou boule nan dife pou Seyè a. Wi, si li gen yon enfimite, li p'ap ka pwoche devan Bondye pou fè ofrann pou li.
22 He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
Yon nonm konsa ka toujou manje nan manje yo ofri ban mwen, kit se nan manje yo ofri m' lan osinon nan manje yo mete apa pou mwen an.
23 Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I Yhwh do sanctify them.
Men, li pa gen dwa pwoche bò rido a ni vin bò lotèl la paske li enfim nan kò l'. Li pa fèt pou derespekte bagay ki apa pou mwen yo paske se mwen menm Seyè a ki mete yo apa pou mwen.
24 And Moses told it unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.
Se konsa, Moyiz pale ak Arawon, ak pitit gason l' yo ansanm ak tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo, li di yo tou sa.
